Angry Instructions in kits.

My daughter received a gift of a kit by www. pieces of my heart. Way above her skill level. I said I would give it a try but have never done a kit before but have quilted for 20 years. It contains over 600 half square triangles . The instructions are minimal and I have really struggled. The half squared triangles are assembled using a paper piecing method called Thangles and are 2" before piecing. No instructions for pressing and one of the color discriptions for a fabric was the wrong color. Some strips were pinked cut and some fabric was uncut. Of course nothing had been starched so it raveled like crazy until I starched everything. I am not sure what the end result will be. So far it looks fine but would be a nightmare to hand quilt due to all the bulk setting all these two inch squares together. Has anyone else had this much trouble with a kit! Some are georgous and the fabric amazing but this has scared me off!
